SMPTE at the 2025 Saudi Media Forum

The Saudi Media Forum (FOMEX) was held 19–21 February in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. SMPTE had the privilege of presenting several sessions at the event with the intent of boosting the nation's media technology infrastructure and training the next generation of Saudi engineers and technologists. Over 60% of Saudi Arabia's population is under the age of 30, and the government is planning the construction of 300 radio stations, multiple television studios, and technology centers. SMPTE's presence at FOMEX helped set a foundation for educational opportunities in the region as well as a chance to collaborate with new partners.
